Abstract
A powerful surge of reform efforts emerges in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States--reforms intended to help the United States deal with the extraordinary changes brought on by industrialization and urbanization. "The progressive era" as it is called is a time of slow, long-term shifts in society and the economy. But as more than one historian has noted, it comes to mean so many different things to so many different people--from anti-monopolists to urban progressives--that it ceases to mean anything at all. What it does reflect is the inequality of wealth in this country. Large numbers of Americans are in distress, steeped in poverty, while the titans of industry are accumulating vast fortunes.
